Abstract
The paper presents the fabrication and characterization of low-cost, highly sensitive fabric-based sensors. Novel Kirigami patterns were formed on conductive fabrics using a laser patterning process. Conductive fabrics have been essential in forming efficient strain sensors due to their high mechanical flexibility, biocompatible nature, and tolerance to washability. They have been used to create flexible prototypes measuring gross and fine motor skills. Silitex® is one of the conductive fabrics that has been very new in the sensing sector, and not much work has been done yet. The developed sensors are a proof-of-concept with a Kirigami pattern. The design, development, and characterization of these prototypes have been presented here. The results have provided a base for deploying these sensors for fully-functionalized strain sensing systems.
